[Strategy of Yanxi Palace] Another year of spring

Such a big event happened in the mansion, Zhang Jia was furious, and immediately ordered a thorough investigation, the two little maids who followed Shi Chun were responsible for selling the mansion for [-] rounds, and Su Shi has been imprisoned in the servant's house waiting to be released.

Regarding the disposition of the dog, when the housekeeper followed Li Rongbao's instructions to ask, Fu Heng just rubbed his forehead and said lightly: "Send it to Zhuangzi to feed the eagle."

His face was haggard, his eyes were bloodshot, his chin was covered with stubble, and there was a hint of anxiety and worry in his expression.

During these days, he has been exhausted physically and mentally, and what others do has nothing to do with him.

Not far away, Ruyi came over with a Gu thing, and Fu Heng asked wearily, "What is this?"

Ruyi said: "The pigeon wolfberry soup stewed in the kitchen is for the young lady's body."

Fu Heng exhaled: "Give it to me."

Ruyi bit her lip, looked at him worriedly, and handed him the tray without saying anything.

Fu Heng turned around and went back to the room. When he pushed the door, he subconsciously held his breath, went in lightly, put the plate on the table, turned his steps, went to the bed, lifted the bed curtain with his fingers, and said softly: " Chun, let's eat something."

All the incense has been stopped in the house, the windows are closed tightly, time seems to be slowed down here, only the western clock is "tick, tick".

In the depths of the bed, sat a woman. She maintained a posture of sitting motionless, her star-like eyes looked at a small melon hat at the end of the bed.

She looked at it for a long, long time, and her eyes seemed to be filled with vicissitudes for a moment.

Hearing this voice, she turned her head and looked out, met Fu Heng's sad eyes, paused, and looked away again.

"I do not want to eat."

She spoke with a hoarse voice and a cold attitude.

Fu Heng didn't care, and just persuaded in a low voice: "This is not good, you can't bear it. Just eat this meal, okay? Eat this once today, please."

Shi Chun glanced at him, looked into his eyes, and found some kind of pleading in them.

She looked down at him, her eyelashes fluttered, and she felt sad for some reason.

"Fu Heng," she said softly, her voice was as soft as a feather floating in the air: "You go to work."

Fu Heng raised a small smile and said, "No, I will stay with you at home."

Shichun turned his head back again.

Fu Heng said: "I'll bring you a bowl of soup, and you promised me that I would drink it this time, right?"

Seeing that she didn't speak, he only regarded her as acquiescing, and got up to serve her soup.

The moment he turned around, he moved his throat, swallowing the sourness and pain that surged up like a tide.

She had never been so indifferent to him.

Since the acquaintance, she has been considerate and courteous in every move, respecting her mother-in-law, taking care of housework, helping her sister, and serving her husband. She is so perfect and virtuous that everyone thinks that she should be so gentle and caring.

But when she didn't want to bother to maintain it anymore, Fu Heng felt her shocking indifference.

He never thought that one day she would treat him like this, but he found out in despair, how could he be sure of how much place he had in her heart.

It wasn't until this moment that he realized, or rather suddenly understood, that after marriage, those red-sleeved splendors never really represented anything.

Just as he himself has never admitted any traces of his heart, what is thinking in her heart and her feelings for him have never been revealed.

The two of them tacitly made a pair of monks who respected each other as guests, and there was a thin wall between each other's hearts, and neither of them thought of crossing the line first.

Bitterness filled his heart, he could only smile wryly.He picked up the small bowl and turned his head, but there was a smile on his face without showing any emotion.

He picked up a spoonful, blew off the heat, and brought it to her mouth.

Shi Chun was startled, and reached out to take it: "I'll do it."

Fu Heng smiled but avoided her hand without any refutation, and brought the spoon to her mouth: "Let me do it."

She lowered her eyes to look, not knowing what she was thinking, and finally opened her mouth and swallowed the soup.

Just like that, one spoonful after another, in silence, the soup bowl bottomed out.

Fu Heng breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to send out the soup bowl and tray, but before he took a step beside the bed, he suddenly heard the person behind him ask:

"How did Er Niang deal with it?"

Startled, he turned his head in disbelief.

Since she woke up a day ago, Fu Heng has been comforting her, trying to tell her how to punish Su and others, but as soon as she mentions the people and things related to this incident, she screams at him to shut up, So now he dare not say a word in front of her.

"The matter has been found out. There was a visitor from Su's natal family that day, and her nephew had a mastiff. He loved it very much and was inseparable. The dog was not allowed in the mansion. There were many guests that day, and now There is Scarlett in the house, and you are still pregnant, but that kid hid the dog in the gift box brought by the Su family, and the dog didn’t bark, and let it sneak in like this. Originally, the dog was in Su The courtyard is tied with a rope. I don't know why it suddenly went crazy after noon, scratching its neck and barking. The servant who led the dog thought it had eaten something, so he didn't dare to strangle it anymore, so he removed the rope. Weicheng thought it bit the servant's hand and ran out while it was in chaos."

Fu Heng said with difficulty:

"Later it was found out that the servant who fed the dog that day was given by my sister-in-law to the Su family. There was also something strange about the food. No one in the big house had the right to do so except for the sister-in-law. Now the sister-in-law has been grounded by her mother, and she plans to distribute it to the Buddha. Tang. The Su family has been imprisoned, and you are only waiting for you to cheer up and deal with her personally. The Su family has been escorted out of Beijing, and the relevant officials of several households have been dismissed. It is hopeless. The dog has now been executed. That day in The maids in the mansion were not good at taking care of them, so they all sold them out. There is a debtor, and the child's revenge has been completely avenged."

Shi Chun slowly raised his eyes, and for a moment, he actually smiled.

"All? No—"

She leaned over the quilt and laughed, with her palms covering her eyes, tears seeped from between her fingers, more and more, and wet her entire palms.

"I'm so stupid, so stupid."

Laughing and laughing, she choked up.

"Shichun." Fu Heng stepped forward anxiously.

"Hitaral is fine."

When Shi Chun put down her palm, her face was pale, with tears left on her face, but her eyes were astonishingly bright and cold.

Facing the astonished Fu Heng, she whispered word by word, "It was Er Qing who killed our child."

"Fourth brother, you ordered someone to send a message to me, saying that you invited me to come to the main room early in the morning, but you need me?"

As soon as Er Qing greeted Zhang Jiashi, she turned a corner briskly and entered a side room in the main courtyard. Seeing that Fu Heng was really there, she lifted the curtain and walked in.

"The fourth sibling just lost her child. If you don't stay with her, what do you want from me?"

"Thank you, sister-in-law, for your concern. To be precise, it was me who was looking for you."

The pleasant sound was like the strings of a guqin being plucked, and Er Qing felt a chill in her heart. She turned her head to look at the door, but her heart suddenly felt cold.

Shi Chun stood at the door, his face was still a little pale, but he was well dressed, wearing a thick cloak, and got up regardless of his weak body after the miscarriage.Behind her, the second young lady supported Zhang Jiashi and lifted the curtain and walked in.

Erqing smiled: "Emiang, second sister-in-law, fourth sibling, what are you doing? Am I the only one being kept in the dark?"

In fact, Zhang Jiashi and the second young lady are also full of doubts in their hearts.

"Sister-in-law three," Shi Chunrou said softly, because of her weak body, it gave her a bit of a sick beauty's fragility, but when she met her eyes, Er Qing's heart was shocked, and she subconsciously acted as if she was facing a big enemy, and she was on guard. stand up.

"I have believed in Buddhism since I was a child, and I believe in being kind to others all my life. I never want to speculate on others, let alone do unfair things because of my own prejudice.

Erqing didn't listen to these words at first, she just kept guessing her purpose today in her heart.

Shi Chun stood where he was, looking directly at Er Qing.

"You and I have known each other since the palace, and it has been nearly eight months since today. During the past few months, to Miss Erqing, to the third sister-in-law Erqing, Shichun believes that she has a clear conscience, and has never done anything wrong to you. Then Today, I implore you to tell me, what a childish child, how did I betray you to make you so cruel to kill a four-month-old child?"

As soon as these words came out, all four were shocked.

The second young lady gasped, Zhang Jia's eyes widened in shock, and Er Qing took a step back.

"You're talking nonsense! Don't spit blood! Four younger siblings! Even if you lose your child and lose your mind, you can't just slander me! It's obvious that my sister-in-law let the dog out because she was jealous of Su Shi and wanted to frame her. I ran into you by accident, and I didn't expect that the Su family would dare to push you out, which made your child disappear. The cause and effect of this incident have been revealed, are the siblings dissatisfied with the results of Er Niang's investigation?"

The expression on Shi Chun's face remained unchanged, showing a kind of numbness, even if Er Qing came out to provoke Zhang Jia with ulterior motives, she still had an unmoved expression.

She took a step forward and just said: "Bring people up."

"The steward of the long house should have been the eunuch in charge of raising dogs in the palace before. I checked the residence registration of the servants in the mansion yesterday, and I found out a lot of incredible things. He entered the palace at the same time as you back then. The name is the son of the Xitara family. Afterwards, with the shelter of your family's reputation, you got along like a fish in water in the palace, and soon became the apprentice of the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs at that time. And you were given to Prince Bao after the election. After two years, the emperor ascended the throne, and you returned to the palace with the empress, but he was given to the Changchun Palace to be an ordinary father-in-law, and later became the person next to the second elder brother. After that, Prince Duanhui passed away. Later, he was demoted again and again. Two years ago, some eunuchs were dismissed from the palace to go to Huangzhuang. The empress took pity on him for serving Prince Duanhui, and specially arranged him to spend some time in the mansion. manual labor."

Shi Chun looked at Er Qing's gradually pale face, and continued:

"I think this person should have been the eyeliner arranged by the Sitara family for you 12 years ago. It was supposed to be used to take care of you in the deep palace, but unexpectedly he did so many things for you. That day I Instinct to maintain balance, but when he landed, he felt as if there were rolling balls under his feet, so he fell down. No matter whether he sent someone to look again afterwards, or Er Niang ordered an investigation that day, it is reasonable that there should be no clues left, but the place is indeed clean. I thought about it and thought of ice."

"It snowed two days ago, and the snow has been swept away these days, but I asked carefully. In the past few days, only people from your courtyard have visited the ice storage, saying that it is to make new food. Yesterday I asked my second sister-in-law, She said that she never stepped on anything when crossing the stone steps, so you took advantage of the chaos to scatter it later. The ice cubes melt easily, and the water passes without leaving traces, it is really a clever plan."

The evidence is conclusive, and Erqing is involved in everything. If it is a coincidence, there will be no more bizarre coincidence than this in the world.

Zhang Jiashi was so angry that she trembled, before Erqing could speak again, she hurried forward a few steps and swung her palm down. Erqing was so slapped that she couldn't stand still, fell to the ground and gasped for air.

After Shi Chun finished speaking what he wanted to say, he let out a deep breath, his chest was heaving up and down, Fu Heng had already walked to her side, supported her behind him, and led her to sit down.

She looked at Er Qing, making people believe that if she had enough strength now, she would definitely step forward to seek justice for her child.

The Second Young Madam kept silent, looked from Erqing to Shichun, and suddenly screamed: "Er Niang! She's not right!"

Everyone in the room looked over, Erqing was lying on the ground with her face covered, but her panting became louder and faster, her face turned pale.

Seeing that she didn't look like she was pretending, Zhang Jia asked his servants to call for the doctor in hesitation, and said coldly, "What tricks are you doing again? You are so vicious, my Fucha family can't keep you, even if you are the queen The marriage bestowed by the empress, I must also explain to the empress to divorce you."

Erqing just covered her stomach, crying out the pain.

Seeing this, the expressions of several people changed slightly.

Fu Heng looked at Shi Chun.

Her nails were tightly pinched into Fu Heng's arm, but she didn't realize that Er Qing, who was in his arms looking at the ground, pursed her lips slightly.

The doctor came quickly, and announced the bad news after checking the pulse.

Erqing is pregnant for nearly a month.

The atmosphere in the room seemed to be about to freeze.

Outside, Fu Qian knelt outside and kowtowed to plead for mercy.

Zhang Jia's complexion changed a few times, she looked at Erqing, and finally said: "The third young lady's morals are damaged, she murdered her children, and is confined to a courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing. Without my permission, she is not allowed to go out or return to the mansion, and pays homage to Buddha every day. Day, to atone for my sins. When this child is born, take it back to the mansion, and don't let her see it."

Hearing that the child was going to be separated from her mother and child, Er Qing just smiled indifferently, and she was also indifferent to Fu Qian's plea from outside the courtyard.She looked at Shi Chun who was sitting in Fu Heng's arms, and smiled triumphantly.

Shi Chun looked back at her coldly, and suddenly, she also smiled at her, Er Qing was startled.

Shi Chun had already withdrawn his gaze, got up and left.

this night.

Erqing was sitting in the side room, with a few people outside the room watching, she just sat and waited, and only smiled when she heard the door creak.

"I knew you would come."

Shi Chun tightened the cloak he was wearing and walked in.

Er Qing took a quick look, recognized that the cloak belonged to Fu Heng, and glanced outside the door.

Shichun didn't miss her expression.

She said: "Since I met you in the palace, I have always felt that you are hostile to me, but you never did anything to me at that time, so I suppressed this weird feeling in my heart. After you married in, I Thinking that we are already sisters-in-law, we should be harmonious with each other, and we have never been hostile to you. Why, you are married to Fu Qian, is there any dissatisfaction?"

Erqing was about to speak, but she noticed something, she stood up in shock, not daring to say anything: "You actually know?"

"Know what? You love Fu Heng? I had doubts about your words, deeds, and eyes when I was in the palace, but after you married into the mansion, the third brother treated you so well, I thought, you should wake up. I treat you fairly with all my heart, and I have never biased myself against you with prejudice and suspicion. I try my best to believe in you and make friends with you, but what good does it do you for you to do such a thing?"

"Benefits? I hate it. I love him so much. I can't get him even if I try my best. But you took advantage of the off-the-shelf without any effort, and now he even falls in love with you! What's the benefit of asking me now? Hahahahaha, I can't help but feel sorry for Fu Heng, you don't love him at all! So you can't understand, falling in love with someone madly, many things can't be explained clearly in a few words. Nalan Shichun, you You have everything, and you understand everything, but your heart is not on him, let alone in this mansion, so you have never put me in your eyes, even if you understand that I am hostile to you, you have never cared about it I have been concerned about the situation in this mansion. Obviously you can avoid this matter completely, but your negligence, your carelessness, and your pretended indifference have harmed you. You want to be a fairy with no desires and desires. I just want you to taste what it feels like to lose what you care about the most. Speaking of which, I never thought that the opportunity would come so soon. This plan was full of loopholes. I never expected it to succeed this time, but in the end, it was you Being defenseless is because you don't have the desire to make progress, being a filial daughter-in-law who listens to your mother every day in the mansion has smoothed your vigilance, life is like this, where there is a will, there is a way."

Shi Chun stepped forward and grabbed her neck, raised her head, her chest was heaving up and down, Er Qing looked at her, giggling: "I'm just jealous of you, it's impossible for Fu Heng and I to be together in this life. Now, he threw all his heart into you. Poorly, compared to this child, he is nothing in your heart. Even so, I am considered complete. Now I am pregnant with the child of the Fucha family, you can't move I."

Shi Chun looked down at her, and she asked, "Fu Heng loves me?"

Erqing was silent.

"Xitara, I'm afraid you didn't understand that as long as he loves me, we will have another child after so many years. And you are now the criminal woman of the Fucha family, and you will not be able to return to Beijing for the rest of your life. The honor status you once had for a short time, and the love of Fu Qian you had for a short time are all wiped out. You will look at the direction of Beijing for the rest of your life, and you will never see Fu Heng again. Under the name of a criminal woman, you will be loved by you The person who loved you, the person who loves you, and your child cast aside all their lives, your family is ashamed of you, and the Xi Tara family has no face and established itself in Manchuria. This is the result of your painstaking efforts, and this is the end of your desperation for Fu Heng. Sometimes I think, if you are as crazy as you and do such a stupid thing, it would be better to live in a muddle. And you have the face to live until now."

Erqing stared at her with wide eyes.

"You don't realize it now, do you?" Shi Chun smiled sarcastically: "Maybe you don't think anyone will suspect you? Anyway, you are right about one thing."

She let go, and Erqing lowered her head and coughed lightly while holding her throat.

"In the past I really lived too much with the flow, and you woke me up." Shi Chun bent down: "Now I am Fu Heng's wife, Fucha's wife, so I shouldn't live like this anymore. Thank you, from now on From now on, I decided to try to accept him."

She turned and walked out, and Erqing's hysterical voice came from behind: "I won't allow it! Nalan Shichun! You don't love him! I won't allow you to use him like this again! I won't allow it!"

Shi Chun stretched out his hand to open the door, Fu Heng stood outside the door, and went in after hearing a lot.

They stared at each other.

Fu Heng backed down first, he showed her a gentle smile, and asked, "Is it over?"

Shi Chun looked at him and nodded.

Fu Heng said softly: "Then let's go back, you're not recovering yet."

He bowed his head and handed back Mrs. Tang who had been warming in his arms all this time, carefully arranged the cloak for her, and hugged her away.

From the beginning to the end, he never looked back at Er Qing who was being stopped by the servants struggling to come out at the open door.
